South Boston Street Festival 2010

I’m coming to Boston in September/October to visit my son who’s working at Coppa after just graduating from the CIA. I noticed there was a 10th Annual South Boston Street Festival last September, but can’t find any information for 2010.

Does anyone know the dates for this year?

Is it worth planning my trip around this festival?

Thanks for your help.

    Yeah, it's pretty much a snooze.

      In the context of food, no. While there are some interesting restaurants up and coming in the neighborhood, Southie's offerings do not even compare to other neighborhoods in Boston.

      South Boston itself has a lot of history and is definitely an interesting community, and therefore worth checking out. But I wouldn't plan my trip around their street festival, nor would I expect to find the most chowish foodstuffs there. :)
